The federal court dismissed yesterday the wrongful termination lawsuit filed by a former company official against Imperial Pacific International (CNMI) LLC.<\/p>\n
U.S. District Court for the NMI Chief Judge Ramona V. Manglona dismissed the case after both parties settled the case and agreed to drop the matter.<\/p>\n
With the case\u2019s dismissal, Danny Ewing, a former casino vice president of table games for Best Sunshine International Ltd., can no longer re-file the case.<\/p>\n
The terms and conditions of the settlement deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n
Attorney William M. Fitzgerald is counsel for Ewing, while George L. Hasselback is counsel for Imperial Pacific.<\/p>\n
In his lawsuit, Ewing accused the casino management of engaging in illegal practices. He said the casino allowed a customer to deposit $400,000 without the required Anti-Money Laundering identification. <\/p>\n
Imperial Pacific operates Best Sunshine Live, a casino and training site for its workers who will ultimately work at its permanent casino, now being built in Garapan.<\/p>\n
Ewing sued Imperial Pacific for wrongful termination in violation of public policy and Fair Labor Standards Act and Occupation Safety and Health Act regulations, immigration violation, wrongful failure to hire; and intentional infliction of emotional distress.<\/p>\n
Ewing demanded unspecified damages.<\/p>\n
Imperial Pacific has denied the allegations. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
